zanmat0··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
I couldn't even manage to boot into any shell so not sure this would've helped me much...
zanmat0··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
I really wanted to give this a legitimate try but even following the installation instructions to the letter, it bricked my Windows install and I had to spend a few hours fixing the MBR, Bootloader, etc. I'm sure it would be a breeze using a separate physical drive but that'll be a project for another day.

Bazzite does look very promising and happy to see innovation in the Linux gaming world!

zanmat0··on Ask HN: What book bit, stung and shook you deeply?
Isn't that just a more verbose way of saying "You can reach for perfection."?

zanmat0··on Top USB Drives on Amazon are a Scam
This is actually a bad thing because the sponsored product will also be listed normally and then you can’t ignore it by virtue of it being sponsored.
zanmat0··on Ask HN: What’s your favorite tool for planning your day?
A dry-erase wall calendar. Can't recommend enough.

Gigapixel AI is pretty cool.
zanmat0··on I won over $55M in the lottery, but didn’t tell my friends or family

zanmat0··on Parler’s de-platforming shows the exceptional power of cloud providers
>The explicit goal was to disrupt congressional proceedings as part of a plan to overturn election results.

And then what? Once the mob was cleared out, they would have resumed. There's a chasm between disrupting proceedings and actually taking over a country. The latter also almost always involved having control of the military by the way.

This is a pipe dream.

Please provide your source and also a counter source showing that other social networks act appropriately without fail 100% of the time.
zanmat0··on Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like staying off HN for a bit?
I find it really sad how politics has slowly invaded HN over the past year. And also how anyone with a dissenting opinion has to post with throwaway accounts that will inevitably turn light grey.

Unfortunately, I only see things getting worse from here. It seems inevitable when observing other internet communities that gradually devolved into being pervaded by partisanship and identity politics.

Hopefully a new site comes along at which point the cycle will start over...

zanmat0··on A group of Google workers have announced plans to unionize
Encouraging fraud, nice.
zanmat0··on Happy New Year HN
Happy new year!

Here's to doing a better job of keeping politics off HN in the future. This starts with the users.

Thank you to the mod(s) for their best efforts.

If you use VS Code, Sundial extension does this.
zanmat0··on Welcome to the New Middle Ages
Absolutely agree. The recent increase in politically tinged articles on HN is really unfortunate.
zanmat0··on Ask HN: What are some small, internet products/services that you wish existed?
As a part of online banking, being able to spawn temporary pseudo accounts, where I could transfer, say $150 a month over 6 months to cover an upcoming one time payment of an auto premium for example.

You would get the benefit of prepayment discounts and an accurate financial picture when looking at your main account.

I think some semblance of this exists for certain online banks but I have enough momentum with my current bank that I wouldn't switch just for that.

zanmat0··on Eric Schmidt has applied to become a citizen of Cyprus
Sounds like you consume a lot of MSM yourself.
zanmat0··on No More Google
Edge has been a near-perfect experience for me on Windows 10. I was a massive FF user for over a decade and the only thing I miss is Gesturefy.
zanmat0··on Strong humming for one hour daily to terminate chronic rhinosinusitis (2006)
Try Pantoprazole.

I had the same issue, and it didn't respond to Inexium (PPI) but cleared up totally with Pantoprazole.

zanmat0··on Ask HN: What Happened to Larry Page?
>He also made a hard right-wing turn.

Is that problematic in and of itself?

zanmat0··on Save the USPS
Yes? Its an even better experience because there's rarely a line and the clerk is usually polite.

I just want to say thank you for providing your perspective to help balance out all the uninformed China-bashing. And for taking the time to address all the points that others have brought up in their replies.
zanmat0··on Microsoft is reportedly in talks to buy TikTok's US operations
